A new therapy for 'Restless Leg Syndrome' approved by the FDA 

People who don't suffer this can't imagine what a torturous existence it is. It affect the whole of your daily life, being always tired or zonked out on drugs.

I need this ..this RLS is hell every single night..please work on this ASAP...from Trinidad

I've been symptom free for over a year. For ages, been doing progressive relaxation to sleep, starting with toes. During the time I was taking a meditation class, noticed that when I relaxed the jaw muscles, it changed the crawling sensation in my legs. Subdued it but didn't stop it. Started relaxing jaw and facial muscles before sleep, trained myself to relax those while half asleep, and also constantly did that during the day. Biggest difference was when I noticed sleeping on a pillow was putting severe pressure on those muscles. So I started sleeping with pillow above ear, rest of face suspended and not touching anything. The symptoms kept subsiding and stopped. This took somewhere between 1-2 months.

I call it "Night Torture Syndrome."

I had RLS for years. I wanted to rip my legs off. I tried different drugs with no success. My doctor then recommended vitamin B12. Within 5 days all signs and symptoms were gone. They have never returned.

Pls God let it be available- we seniors hardly get much sleep due to this - ache/restless legs 😢

I bought a grounding mat and it seems to be working quite well. Also bought a grounding sheet and pillow slip to help with RLS and arthritis in my back. I will keep you posted on results.💕

i suffer really badly with RLS, not only in my legs but in my shoulders too, quite often my body starts to jerk violently, so i have to get out of bed and walk around, sometimes for hours, on a good night i will sleep for around 3 hours but still have to get up and do a few exercises so i can fall asleep again, it rules my life, i can't travel, which is something i used to love doing, can't go to the movies, can't really do anything that involves sitting for prolonged periods, i feel sorry for anyone who suffers with it.

I know there is quite a bit of skepticism around mechanical devices because they have not worked in the past. I was lucky enough to be involved in one of the trials for the Noctrix device (which I believe he is referring to.) I have severe refractory RLS. I went through augmentation hell. I was only on this study for 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks I was able to reduce my medication by 1/3. It definitely worked for me! I did not mind having it on at all. My study involved only using it when RLS started. I believe if I could have used it early in the evening when I typically get a little breakthrough RLS it may have prevented it altogether. I definitely think it will help on long flights and car rides. I am on the list to get on as soon as they come out. I have no involvement in the sale or distribution of this device, I just want to share my honest assessment.

I cured my RLS and night panic/anxiety attacks by changing my hours of sleep. DSPD, I go to sleep now at 2-3am and get up at 10-11am. I sleep like a baby 7-9 hours every single night. DSPD IMO is not a disorder, it's your natural hours of sleep not the societal hours imposed on us.

Sugar ,sugar sugar .. Try no foods with sugar midday on wards ..

Try magnesium and vit b1

It's wrong - it's not an Urge; it is more like an physiological Impulse that you can't control (like a sneeze). You may be able to get up to thwart it, but the impulse returns. I was at the point of being up almost all night before finding out about the prescription that is currently helping me.

It is the absolute worst. I get episodes once in a while. I would likely off myself if I had to live w/ it every night :( my prayers go to those strong ppl that deal it w it daily.

It typically occurs at the nap hour, and if you are in an environment whereby the room conserves heat too well, then the best approach is to do a before nap time workout routine of your choice for an hour and also remember to keep the dry air out during the summer the best way you know how or winter time using the thermo control with the "fan" control setting on "auto" fan setting simultaneously and not "on". Dry fan air will dissipate at auto setting, and it's good for the lungs when you do your workout out in your room at night before bed. That's my conclusion and cure after 38+ years, too. It seems that at this age, it is the gold standard age experience I've noticed. Human evolution wasn't meant for energy saving high-tech rooms, which trap dry air in rather to the contrary outdoor experience. Who even gets cured off of restless leg syndrome on a couch rather than outdoors doing stuff and then napping in the forest somewhere. I am serious about this. It's a cure on my behalf in every season of the year and counting. My time for a workout is at the 12 mark to 1am. It is cold outside to open windows and dangerous too. unpredictable too if you live with your loved ones.

Name of new device? Manufacturer information?

I need this desperately in Tennessee. 75 years old.

Others with RLS: The only thing that stops it for me is soaking it in hot bath. That makes it go away for an hour or two if Im lucky. Try it out.

Restless legs drives me crazy at night, I only get a few hours of sleep if I’m lucky when this restless leg happens! I have a sleep problem anyway and I’m serious it drives me crazy!

Is it ready yet?

What is this device called?

I think the company or device name is De Novo .

What about people who have rls in the arms?

How do I follow up with these new bands? Super excited 😅

It's ridiculous to expect people to take medication before using this. It is well known that the medications stop working at some point and the RLS gets worse. It is also well known that there are damaging side effects to any medication. I have had RLS since I was a child. I agree that it is not described well. It is an uncontrollable urge to move, and uncontrolled movement. I have tried many times to breathe and relax through it, only to find the next movement 5 minutes later to be twice as big. B12 and magnesium have not helped but iron with vitamin C works sometimes.

My Rls is terrible. It is horrible at night. I toss and turn and always felel the need to get up…I try not to wake my husband when i’m getting in and out the bed but he sleeps so light that he wakes up every time i move… By the morning we both are exhausted.I still can feel it in the daytime as well but it’s not as bad as at night

where can u get this??? my mom suffers big time.

My grandpa called it the budgies. I never understood until I was about 32 and it started with me. Been through many meds through the years. It stopped in my right leg after knee replacement. That lasted about 8 months. So now back on meds but lately that’s not working. I discovered that vibration works. I got a medical back massager and use it about 10 Minton each knee. It works! Not sure what comes next but we’ll see.

Were do i find this

Please, here in Canada

...what kinda journalism is this? You just gonna talk over it? Can't even show a picture or video of the device? Like really that's the production your multimillion dollar studio can do?

But how much will it cost?

MSG and all other 25 names for it caused constant restless legs and body at night. Also bone broth which is long slow cooked bones as that releases natural glutamate from the bones, gelatine capsules which comes from bone broth, high glutamate containing green veggies etc. Glutamate is the issue for me be it natural or all the processed MSG family. Hope this helps someone.

I call it Restless Limbs Syndrome because it's in my arms/shoulders now too. I've had RLS my whole life (I'm almost 63 years old; it used to be just at bedtime, then any time I relaxed in the evening too. The last 15 years; it's all day long. The only med that works for me has unfortunately made it worse over time. In fact the medication doesn't work anymore by itself; I have to take magnesium with it. I'm on the max dose; my Dr said he would have to diagnose me with Parkinsons to increase my dose. If I miss a pill; I look like I have PD; I can barely walk. It's an awful disease/syndrome.

Please hurry up

Doing deep muscle massage on yourself can be helpful along with stretching. Both I do to the point of pain, which actually feels good when you’re feeling the RLS. The generic for Resterall woks very well. I had full body RLS that started with my first pregnancy and almost never get it now that I’m post-menopausal. One weird trick I found os to press really hard on the scalp about two inches from your hairline and where you’d part it in the middle. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Come on with it!

Does anyone else get muscle twiching in your legs and calves

Wouldn't this be better than taking some drug? Why do they make it sound like it is only for those that medication hasn't helped?

I use Nurosym at the moment. Hope I’ll ride off of tramadol soon 😅

God I need to try it rls has taken over my life

It is a whole body experience. Let us find the source, food additives perhaps.

1 to 1 ratio thc/cbd. It works. I take hit from a vape pen before bed, Its been a life changer.

A run of the mill tens machine does the same job

Having RLS while breastfeeding at night is horrible. You just can’t sit still at all. Vibration was the only thing that helped until the cushion I had passed away, couldn’t get another. A back massage cushion I used to place behind my calves, was brilliant and only 30.00. Brand was HoMedic but never saw them again.

That’s ridiculous! Magnesium oil on the bottom of your feet is the best

Ya but will it be covered by Medicare and/or medicaid???

Sit in a tub of as hot of water as you can stand for 20 minutes just before you go to bed. Be sure your legs stay completely submerged the whole time. It will calm it enough for you to go to sleep.

What a novel way to restore B12 and Mg.

I think it relates to the nerves

Wife woke me up last night, said hey you’re kicking me constantly. So some how I got to sleep but my legs were like nope 🙂‍↔️ we dancing sucker.

If it just wasn't the FDA

Pramipexole has been a godsend for me. One tab two hours before bedtime and I'm good to go (to sleep).

Oh ell no..dont want anything touching my legs

I had restless leg syndrome. Come to find out I was magnesium deficient. Started taking magnesium glycinate problem solved❤❤❤❤❤❤

I treated mine with Vitamin B1, calcium, magnesium. Mine started because I started taking Cymbalta. So I take a lower dose and I’m RLS free. It’s treatable with supplements people.🦋

I’ve heard pickle juice

Just use Vicks on foot, legs, and spine.😊

Just place a cake of soap in the loose socks you wear to bed. The problem will go away in a minute. Try it
